BECOMING MEG DASHWOOD

This full-cast audiobook imagines Margaret Dashwood--the younger half sister of SENSE AND SENSIBILITY'S protagonists--as an adult. Longing for more than marriage and motherhood, Margaret visits London at the invitation of Mrs. Jennings. After finding herself lost and tipsy in a less-than-desirable area, Margaret joins a group of independent women, including the beautiful actress Nelly, and discovers who she is beneath her Georgian propriety. Emma Thompson's and Erin Doherty's portrayals of the elder and younger Meg reflect her wit and desire as she seeks to live fully as her true self. Other narrators' performances capture the essences of their characters. Both the talented ensemble and the background sounds and music help to immerse listeners in this stellar production.
